Bridge City

"Quality is Contagious"

John Economaki

John Economki started Bridge City Tool Works in 1983 and he has been regarded as one of the most innovative tool makers of our time. John is not like any other tool maker, he's rejected just about every accepted formula for making traditional hand tools. Yet, many of his innovations have since become common practice within the tool industry. For example; Bridge City were the first to use A2 steel in plane irons and to optically lap a tools blade.

Bridge City design highly collectable tools that no one has thought of before

Manufactured using the finest materials, many Bridge City products are made in limited quantities, making them true collectables. To use one of their tools is to use the ultimate woodworking tool.

A tool should be as compelling when not in use as it is when serving its intended purpose
